equipment.
This Standard specifies the nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for pressure equipment and the quality
classification of testing results. But, how to select the proper NOT method in a specific case, and how to
determine the quality level shall be per the corresponding provisions of relevant regulations and product
standards respectively.
The JBff 4730.1 - 4730.6-2005 (Nondestructive testing for pressure equipment) contains the following
six Parts.

- 400mm, the contents of the industrial radiation film series, the densitometer, the application of
Se-75 ray source, and the exposure curve are added; and the requirement for illumioance of
radiograph reading light is modified.
5. In ultrasonic testing, the test scopes of austenitic stainless steel plate, duplex stainless steel plate,
aluminium/aluminium alloy plate, and titanium/titanium alloy plate used for pressure equipment are
added; and the testing requirements for explosive and rolled clad steel plates are regulated.
6. In ultrasonic testing, the examination thickness range of steel butt welded joint is extended to 6mm -
400mm; the technical grade classification of steel butt welded joint, and the test scopes of T-w~ld
and austenitic stainless steel butt welded joint are added.
7. In ultrasonic testing, the test scopes of circumferential butt welded joint in steel pressure piping with
JB/T 4730.1 -4730.6-2005
thickness greater than or equal to 4mm and outside diameter 32mm - 15~ or thickness 4mm -
6mm and outside diameter greater than or equal to 159mm are added; and the test scopes of
circumferential butt welded joint in aluminium/aluminium alloy pipe/tube connection of thickness
greater than or equal to 5mm and outside diameter 80mm - 159mm, or thickness 5mm - 8mm and
outside diameter greater than or equal to 159mm are also added.
8. In fluorescent magnetic particle testing or fluorescent penetrant testing, the test scope of the high
strength steel and crack-sensitive material and added.
9. The fiµ- field eddy current testing used for ferromagnetic steel tube in-service and the eddy current
testing for non-ferromagnetic tube in-service are added.
